Brief Note

In a somewhat ironic twist of fate, my OWN house caught fire. No serious damage, but I think the better part of tomorrow/this week will be spent cleaning, so the next update and the first part of the Maltese Llama will be delayed by a few days. As a side note, you really should remember to change the batteries in your fire alarms and get a fire extinguisher. We didn't so much... Had to rely on my sister to dump water all over everything. If she hadn't been out there to get a snack for our Harry Potter night, shit might have been worse. So yeah-...

Wreckage

It had been two months since the Pesce's house had burned down, and things in Twinbrook were slowly getting back to normal. Kids played in the street, trains rumbled through the rolling green countryside, people slipped away to the local fishing holes for an hour or two of solitude.

The 30 Day Sim Challenge: Day Five

The first time one of my inventors tried it out (before I realized you could just buy one in buydebug), she wound up saving the...

The 30 Day Sim Challenge: Day Four

Day 4 - The skill your Sim is most commonly learning Most of my Sims- right now, Jane in particular- spend their time learning to write. I tend to have a lot of writer Sims, mostly because I love writing, and I love to make them do it. In Jane's case, it's because she's a reporter, though several of my other Sims learn it for a hobby, or to become a self-registered writer....

Into the Frying Pan

The sun was beginning to set when Jane pulled up to the small parking lot of the Lakeview Bar. Not her first choice of how to spend her precious few hours after work, but it was ideally suited for her purpose- hidden, out of the way, and exactly the kind of place Moe wouldn't be caught dead in. Of course, she had no experience in this situation. Where are you supposed...
